Relationships can be one of the most rewarding parts of our lives...
and sometimes one of the most confusing.
.
You may know that something needs to change, but you're not quite sure what.
.
You may be questioning a relationship, finding yourself repeating familiar patterns, struggling with boundaries, or wondering why you keep choosing the same kind of relationships.
.
Or perhaps you're ready to open yourself to love again and want to approach relationships differently this time.
You don't have to figure it all out on your own.
You May Be Wondering
-
"Why do I keep ending up in the same relationship patterns?"
-
"Am I asking for too much — or not enough?"
-
"How do I set boundaries without feeling guilty?"
-
"Why do I find it so difficult to say what I really need?"
-
"Is this relationship right for me?"
-
"How do I know when to stay, when to leave, or when something needs to change?"
-
"Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable people?"
-
"How can I become more open to love without losing myself?"
-
"I want a healthier relationship, but I don't know where to start."
What we can explore together
Your relationship patterns
Understand the patterns you may be repeating and what they can teach you about your needs, expectations and choices.
Boundaries & communication
Learn to recognise what you need, communicate more clearly and create boundaries that feel healthy rather than harsh.
Dating & choosing differently
Explore what you're looking for, the patterns you may be drawn towards and how to make choices that are more aligned with the relationship you actually want.
Existing relationships
Gain perspective on what's happening in a current relationship and explore how you can respond differently, communicate more effectively or make difficult decisions.
Self-worth & connection
Explore how your relationship with yourself influences the relationships you create with others.
Opening to love
If you've been hurt, disappointed or independent for a long time, we can explore what it might mean to open again while still staying connected to yourself.
This is about You
This is individual coaching
You don't need to bring your partner.
Individual Relationship Coaching is focused entirely on you — your experiences, your patterns, your choices and the relationships you want to create.
It can be particularly helpful when you're trying to make sense of a relationship before deciding what to do, navigating dating, recovering from an unhealthy dynamic, or simply wanting to develop a healthier way of relating.
This offering is not couples counselling or couples therapy.
What a session may look like?
There isn't a set formula.
You might arrive with a specific relationship question, a difficult decision or a pattern you don't understand.
Together, we might explore:
-
What is happening?
-
Understanding the situation without judgement.
-
What is underneath it?
-
Exploring patterns, needs, fears, expectations and behaviours.
-
What is yours to change?
-
Separating what you can influence from what you can't control.
-
What do you actually want?
-
Getting clearer about the kind of relationship and connection you're looking for.
-
What could you do differently?
-
Turning insight into practical choices and action.

With more than 2,000 hours of counselling experience and over 25 years of combined experience working with people in-person and online, you can feel confident that our sessions will be centred around you — your needs, your wellbeing and the changes you want to make.
My personal mantra is "awareness is empowerment."
Through greater awareness, we can begin to recognise patterns, understand our needs, challenge beliefs that may be holding us back and make choices that feel more aligned with who you are and the life you want to create.
I work collaboratively and at your pace. I won't tell you what you should do or who you should be. Instead, I offer a compassionate, thoughtful and professional space where you can explore, reflect, challenge yourself and discover your own way forward.

Kind Words
"I've been working with Adria for about two and a half years now and I can honestly say she is the most incredible counsellor I’ve ever met. She has such a gentle, calm and supportive way of holding space. I’ve never felt so safe and truly heard.
She’s helped me work through so many things, from relationship challenges, self confidence, intimacy and even imposter syndrome. Every session feels like a step forward, with real breakthroughs that stick. It’s hard to put into words how much it means to feel so understood, but that’s exactly what she does - she really gets you, and helps you get yourself too.
I genuinely look forward to every session, and I’m so grateful to have found her. If you’re thinking about working with her, you couldn’t be in better hands. " Nicola R

"I saw Adria Ellis weekly for an extended period during one of the most difficult seasons of my life, and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly compassionate, deeply understanding, and brings a rare combination of wisdom and skill to her work. Adria held space with such care and presence, and gently helped guide me through situations that felt overwhelming and complex. I always felt seen and supported, never judged, which, in my experience, is rare.
It’s hard to find a genuinely good therapist, someone who not only listens but also helps you grow, reflect, and heal in a meaningful way. Adria is that person. I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and grounded therapist. " Sam G
